THANK YOU.....for understanding....again!

I hate to cut off my contacts, with so-called family, but they have proven that family is just a word. I don't want them to hurt, but I do know that what goes around, comes around. Maybe someday, if they stop drinking, they'll understand.

I saved some of these posts for future reference in my email. That way I won't be so repetitive with the same old crap.

Thanks again!

I wouldn't give them that much power, these people who carry your bloodline shouldn't define what family means to you.
You have the ability to form whatever kind of family you want, with a man who shares your convictions. "Family " is not just a word.

I guess I was referring to ADDICTED family.

My grandparents would be heartbroken if they knew what was going on.

What I am looking for is LOYALTY. There are never any consequences for the A's who have mistreated me by MY family. At least not the one's who are addicts.
They look at it like, "It's not about what he did to her, it's about what he can do for and with us." Am I wrong???? Am I wrong to expect support and loyalty from my own family? I don't think so. I have to let it go for my own peace of mind and serenity. I cannot give them that kind of power over me any longer.

I will have bad days and good days! We all know about that. Yesterday, the surgeon told me that he thinks I should have a mastectomy and on the way home....my car died. When it rains....it pours!

Hopefully......God willing.....I will make it to my daughter's college graduation tomorrow!

Have a great Mother's Day everyone!

I did not react this morning. I hope that I can continue to stop reacting to the A's in my life. Some days are much easier than others. If the subject of my ex comes up again, I will tell them that they can party with him as much as they want....just leave me out of it.

Also.....I have transportation to my daughter's college graduation and she got a 4.0 this semester. Just wanted to share some good news with you guys.

Have a good day!
Grace

Grace, congrats for your daughter!

I hope you'll be able to move soon. Remember we can't change others but we can change ourselves!

It took me a while, but I did come to realize that AH never had any consequences because I was allowing him to treat me the way he did. I took the co-dependent route and waited for some outside force to deal him a consequence. And oh yeah, I called it love.
